Is Visual Studio going to be in use 500 years from now? Light Table? No.

The people who made Visual Studio have not made something that is smarter for everyone's work. Maybe your work just doesn't require any customization. That doesn't mean nobody should ever want customization.

I fail to see where I made that claim. IDE's are also customizable - I would argue that they are, in fact, much more customizable than either vim or emacs, simply because of the breadth of features one may customize. I was addressing the parent's claim that "great programmers use vim or emacs."
